The Watchmaker

Mr. Cog was a watchmaker. He made the most beautiful watches in the land. He came across a women one day who wore the most beautiful wristwatch he had every seen. He soon fell in love with the women and every day he would ask her, "Who made such a beautiful watch? You must tell me."
She would only reply in return, "It is a gift from God, my love."
They married and grew old together all the while Mr. Cog tried to replicate his wife's beautiful watch.
On her deathbed she called for Mr. Cog to take off her watch and so she could show him the secrets to the watch. He wouldn't hear a word of it, "I would rather spend this time with you then learn about a watch. It's only a watch."
"Look into the face of the watch." And with her dying breath, the watch opened and a small light came out and floated above them. All that was left of the watch was the bits, pieces and parts but the watch had lost its soul. With that Mr. Cog understood he would never be able to replicate his wife or the soul she carried with her.
